mitch mcconnell asked. we agree with the old mitch congressional. we believe that voters have a right to know. we believe in full disclosure and all senator mcconnell and the house republicans need to do to ensure that full disclosure is vote in favor of the disclose act when they bring it up in the senate and sign discharge petition that we filed today to bring up the disclosed act in the house of representatives. we hope that they will do that. thank you. >> thank you very much, congressman van hollen. when the decision came down under chris van hollen's leadership, we did pass a disclose act in the house. it won't over to the senate which of course had only 59 democrats and we couldn't only democrats and we couldn't get one republican despite public statements of mcconnell and others they abandoned that because they knew they didn't want accountability and transparency and contributions that are made under something that is so bizarre that the court would say any and all money secret or otherwise from who knows where, should be allowed into our s
